Virtual design and construction (VDC) services provide coordination between construction trades through 3D modeling, enabling real-time walkthroughs and clash detection to save time and costs. VDC modeling ensures all elements work together accurately to meet requirements. Benefits include decreased costs, optimized schedules through collaboration, and safer worksites through forecasting.
3. VDC
• Construction Professionals working on complex structures understand
the importance of coordination between trades viz. Architecture,
Structure, MEP & FP.The complete process can take about 50% of the
project value, and if performed correctly, can save massively on project
budget and time.
• The coordination process has taken over legacy building methods that
include non-intelligent 2D manual drawings.With VDC services,
architects can take owners on a precision tour of their unbuilt property
on a software, via real-time walk-throughs.
• VDC Modeling makes sure all the trades and elements work together,
and make sure what is built is accurate and meets client requirements.
There are various benefits ofVDC that can help architects and
construction project managers construct a visual representation of
your construction project even before you start breaking the ice.

4. Virtual Design and
Construction
Services
Virtual Design and ConstructionServices make sure the 3D
model is highly precise and effective across the entire life-
span of the project. Owners and stakeholders can build
tangible results at each step of the construction and post-
construction process.
• Few of the benefits of VDC / BIM Services include -
• Decreased project costs
• Time and Schedule Optimization
• Enhanced team collaboration
• Safer on-site work through project forecasting
• Better project deliverables 4
5. • ClearVisualization
• Site Planning
• 4D Scheduling
• 5D Cost Estimation
• Clash Detection
• Pre-fabrication and Fabrication
• Constructability reviews
• FM services

6. • The true sense of VDC Services can be seen in the
bidding process.The bidding process is one of the most
complex and competitive processes for firms to win
projects.There are various stakeholders that are involved
in the whole process – bid reviews by client, proposals
from various engineering trades, general contractors,
material suppliers and more
• With the adoption ofVDC, architects and engineers can
create a detailed information-rich model of the project
for client presentation.Thus, a federated model of key
requirements helps construction companies win more
projects

7. • Cost estimation or project costing is one of the most
vital aspects of construction and BIM. Owners and
stakeholders rely on accurate budget projections to
make informed decisions, and Virtual Design and
Construction Services in the US create detailed
models of projects to extract vital data put forth
precise cost estimates

8. • One of the biggest challenges in the construction
industry includes rework.This produces a lot of
construction waste and reduces work-force
productivity as well. With VDC in the picture, there’s
enhanced communication and collaboration between
various trades at any level of the construction project
• Rather than working in silos, project teams can
collaborate and work together to resolve any conflict
or ambiguity at the initial stage of the construction
process

9. • With VDC Services, high-quality 3D models can be
built and represented.These models are used to
obtain in-depth analysis of energy usage and
efficiency that can impact the design and building
lifecycle. Energy efficiency includes various
materials, instruments, equipment, and the actual
overall facilities
• BIM takes it a step further whilst calculating energy
efficiency of external appliances that need to be
installed after construction.These equipment’s are
used by occupants viz. in-house lighting and heating
systems, elevator function, refrigeration, installation
of renewable energy systems and more.Clash
detection is one of the most crucial processes, with
VDC services all the elements and systems are
combined into a single model to analyze clash
detection between various trades

10. • With VDC Modeling, on-site labor or building
professionals can be kept safe whilst improving
safety measures during the actual building phase or
facility management as well. With a well-oiled 3D
model, site workers know each corner of the
structure and are well aware of what goes where and
the level of safety that needs to be taken into
account

11. • VDC services are used by organizations around the
globe to improve project performance and keeping
the project on time and budget.VDC enables
construction firms to build information-rich 3D
models that enable owners and stakeholders
demonstrate precise costing and time management
to win bids and proposals.
